A US Airways spokesman says that a police officer was called over to check out the gun and that's when it accidentally discharged. The bullet went into a TSA break room where an employee was sitting but luckily no one was injured, police said.

Police say that Luby had a license to carry the loaded weapon. Police confiscated the gun and said it was up to the county that issued Luby the permit if she would get the handgun back.

"That's standard practice," said airport police Capt. Michael Murphy. "That's what we would charge anyone with who had a permit to carry.

A Facebook page apparently belonging to Luby, which had the same date of birth listed as her court documents, was taken down Monday. NBC10's attempts to reach Luby weren't successful.

TSA tell NBC10 that 10 times last year and seven times so far this year someone showed up to Philly International with a gun accidentally packed in his or her bags. Earlier this year a Phoenixville man says he forgot he had a loaded gun on him when he went through airport security, a story NBC10 covered.

Another flight attendant was brought on board the Dallas, Texas-bound plane Luby was supposed to be working on and the scheduled flight arrived on time, according the airline.
